Interior Design
Your words deserve an interior that feels like the book.
A book's interior is more than words on a page. Typography, margins, chapter openings, spacing, trim size, and all the small details shape how a reader moves through your work.
I'll spend time with your manuscript before I design it, getting to know its voice, structure, and rhythm. Then I'll build an interior that feels intentional from the first page to the last.
Starting at $1,350
Designed around your manuscript
Every book has a different rhythm. A devotional shouldn't feel like a memoir. A collection of essays shouldn't feel like a textbook. And a book with a strong visual voice shouldn't be forced into a template.
Your interior includes
Manuscript review and creative direction
Custom typography and font selection
Trim size and page architecture
Chapter and section design
Running heads, page numbers, and other navigational elements
Custom treatment of pull quotes, lists, or other recurring elements as needed
Two initial design directions
Interior typesetting and layout
Revisions to the selected direction
Print-ready interior files
Physical proof review
From manuscript to finished page
01 — I read.
Before I begin designing, I spend time with your manuscript. I want to understand what you're saying and how the book moves.
02 — We explore.
I'll develop an interior direction and welcome feedback based on your vision for your story.
03 — We refine.
Once we've chosen a direction, I'll design the full interior and refine the details across the book.
04 — We prepare.
Your finished interior will be prepared for print, with careful attention to the details that matter.
This is for you if...
You already have a cover you love and want an interior that feels equally considered.
You care about how your book feels in a reader's hands—not just whether the text technically fits on the page.
You want a designer who will make decisions based on your manuscript rather than dropping it into a pre-made template.
A note on pricing
Interior design begins at $1,350. Final pricing depends on manuscript length and complexity. Books with extensive images, tables, footnotes, multiple recurring design elements, or other specialized formatting may require a custom quote.
